On August 19, Keith Christopherson, former business manager for International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators Local 34, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota to one count of embezzlement of funds from the St. Paul-based union in the amount of $2,081. He had been charged in a one-count information in July along with former local financial secretary Scot McNamara. The actions follow a probe by the Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
